Here is what happened this evening.  My machine was unattented all day
as I was out of town.  I came home at 2:00am and pressed a key to wake up
the screen saver.  Lo and behold I noticed it was talking to one of
my UUCP connections indicated by the status line (phone daemon I wrote).
Now I know not everyone is running this, and this problem existed *LONG*
before I even started work with phdaemon.  The clock indicated it was
just 9:56pm (even though it was 2:00am).  The keyboard did not respond
in echoing characters and the CAPS/NUM LOCK keys did work (they lit up).

Oh well, had to search for that RESET button at 2am, that was a chore! :-)

The people who are on the war-path at AT&T looking for this problem should
definately go on the idea of the phone manager/window manager problem after
uucico dies.  NOTE:  I am running HDB UUCP, so it isn't just inherent in
the generic UUCP.
